Report: Clemson QB Deshaun Watson Played Entire Game with Torn ACL

As someone who has torn her ACL, this is nothing short of amazing to me.

Clemson freshman quarterback, Deshaun Watson, led the Tigers to their first Palmetto Bowl win in five years with a torn ACL.

I didn't hear it myself but Dabo apparently said Watson played with a torn ACL. #Clemson #Gamecocks

The plan is for Watson to play in the bowl game and then have surgery. #Gamecocks #Clemson

Dabo reportedly said he couldn't hurt it any worse and mentioned that Tajh Boyd played with a torn ACL in high school. #Gamecocks #Clemson

Watson apparently tore his ACL in Thursday's practice. #Gamecocks #Clemson

I’m not sure if I agree with this decision by Swinney and Watson.  I know he’s been told he couldn’t injure it further, but is that certain?  Should this young man risk a possible future making a lot of money playing professionally for a system that makes millions off of him, but won’t allow him to profit from his own hard work?  Let the debate begin.
